How agressive is your RTS? when he gets territorial, he wont tolerate the corries in such a small tank.. let alone the rest of the fish. I would honestly move the RTS or give him to a LFS just because they are not suited for a community tank.

Don' add any cories until you have the RTS in the bigger tank, and once you have some cories would be lovely. With what you've got you could even go with 2 schools of 2 different varieties if you liked. 6 of one type and 6 of another. They prefer groups of 6 or more as you probably know. :)
